COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONPunkin' Ale is a full-bodied, spiced brown ale brewed with baked pumpkins, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Dogfish Head Punkin' Ale is named after the annual Punkin' Chunkin Festival held near Lewes, Delaware the weekend after Halloween.

Not a strong pumpkin taste, more brown ale. It was watery and not very thick. Had a metallic finish. I like more spicy pumpkin beers, not very impressed; however, masked 7% abv well. Expensive, not worth buying agian.

Bottle An almost clear one, pale amber in color and with a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma is mostly on the spiced side, with some bready, caramel malts. Meaty hints too. It’s medium bodied and with a nice carbonation level, quite dry and with a nice bitterness. Meaty, caramel and bready flavor with a good dash of spices. Too much or the wrong ones according to my palate. Decent though. Lasting spiced, bready finish with the spices dominating. Well, it’s not bad for a pumpkin spice ale, but it’s not my kind of beer anyway. 150622
